Plaintiff's claim dismissed because she failed to plead and join the individual public officer(s) required to establish government liability under Government Proceedings Act ss5-6, and, alternatively, the defendants proved lawful entry and seizure under GST Act ss80-83 and CPC s116A while the plaintiff failed to prove unlawful trespass or the alleged losses; credibility findings further undermined plaintiff's case.
